    I agree with that David about waking us up. Boy have they ever woken me up but now I feel I need to move past the continued search and focus on the importance of now which is true prayer for the conversion of all souls. It is almost like I needed to read this message today from Verne to make this decision clear. I pray each day to move closer to His Divine Will and this just seems the next logical step. I was getting there on my own gradually through internal thought and reflection but this message was like a huge alarm bell going off in my head. I asked and God gave as He said he would.

    What a nice short summary of the events yet to come. I don't know what to think about this. There would be nothing greater in the world than to see the majority come out of the Warning and truly repent and be like the people of Ninevah but I have a hard time seeing this occur. The Devil will be so quick to distort what happened during the Warning. The athesist scientists will be all over claiming it was some natural event. Others will be so hardened and stubborn in their ways that they just won't be able to bend that knee. Oh how me must pray for everyone now. Our prayers may be enough to soften some hearts, reduce some pride and prepare them for the events to come without them even knowing we, through our prayers, will be preparing their souls. We must offer up everything we have in our lives, the good, the bad, the pain, the joy, everything in exchange for mercy for every soul! I truly believe that a small few with big lofty prayers can make big things happen for our lukewarm and completely cold brothers and sisters.

    Verne here is the interpretation of my message to you.
    I the Lord God will shake the heavens and earth both physically and spiritually because of the sins of this generation. My children are not responding to the ordinary means of salvation given to mankind: my church and the sacraments. The Lord has sent his mother as a messenger who has warned mankind. I have been shaking the earth for many years now. Few souls realize the natural events transpiring are to wake up my children to the eternal salvation. Changes in the weather, earthquakes, diseases, and food supplies are permitted by my divine will to wake up my children. Many are not able to discern the signs of the times do to their sins and the deception of Satan.
    Therefore, I the Lord will remove the deception and allow my children to see the truth. An increase in the physical shaking of the earth will take place until the warning. The warning is the spiritual shaking. During the warning, all of mankind will know the truth, the state of their souls, and the particular judgment of their soul at that moment. My mercy and justice allow this warning as one of the last mercies to this sinful generation. The response of mankind to the warning will determine the severity of the chastisement, after the warning. The warning will fulfill the prophecies of: Blessed Anna Maria Taiga, Lourdes, Fatima, Divine Mercy, and Garabandal. My church will not go underground and the abomination of desolation will not occur, until after the warning. I need my church to bring my graces to my children, after the warning. Confessionals must be open for my children to receive the pardon and forgiveness for their sins. Remember, I am a God of mercy. Those who harden their hearts to my mercy and graces will pave the road for the events prophesied in Apocalypse 12, 13, and 14. I warned the people of Noah’s day and I will warn the people of this generation.
    If mankind does not repent of their sins, you will see the following events, after the warning. The persecution of the Holy Father, causing him to flee Rome and go into hiding. The Holy Mass becoming protestantized with the abomination of desolation taking place. My true church being forced into underground masses with my children being fed my Holy Eucharist many times by my angels. A world wide persecution of my faithful. My faithful being called to flee to my refuges. A false church being instituted with a false leader or antipope. Mankind attempting to re-institutionalize the tower of Babel, with a one world government, which will control the world’s currency with the mark of the beast. An antichrist who will lead this revolt against God and who will proclaim the Masonic doctrine that all religions are equal and that the kingdom of God is a materialistic earthly kingdom.
    This will cause my eternal judgment to descend on this earth and cast the antichrist and his followers into the abyss of hell for all eternity. Satan and his demons will also be locked away for 1000 years as described in Apocalypse 20:1-3. Then, the earth will go through 3 days of darkness just as my son was in the tomb for 3 days. My creation will then be renewed and the seventh day or era of peace will begin. These events are written in my Holy Scriptures. I bring messages to my people because my people do not read my Holy Scriptures. The severity and sequence of events will be determined by the response of mankind to my mercy and justice. Without repentance, these events will increase and take place in this generation. These words are a reminder that God’s will, will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Be like Noah and enter my ark of refuge and enter the seventh and eighth days of creation. Verne, this understanding will give you peace this day and the days ahead.
    Amen

    I believe it is in looking for more and more messages for the purpose of sensationalism, as our Lord mentions many times in GSWYL messages, that is wrong. Messages from heaven to deepen our love and prayer life in the Divine Will is not only important it is imperative to our faith.

    Andy, I think the message you posted most recent, which speaks of "hardened hearts" is what it is all about. I think Mark Mallett's blog today spoke spot on with this issue on both extreme ends within and outside the Church. Verne's messages make very clear that it will be "lukewarm Catholics and apostate Protestants that will be the greatest persecutors of the remnant in the hardest part of the tribulation.
    "I need my church to bring my graces to my children, after the warning. Confessionals must be open for my children to receive the pardon and forgiveness for their sins. Remember, I am a God of mercy. Those who harden their hearts to my mercy and graces will pave the road for the events prophesied in Apocalypse 12, 13, and 14. I warned the people of Noah’s day and I will warn the people of this generation'.

    I'm afraid it doesn't get more clear than this message...and my understanding of the 'abomination of desolation' is that the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is US---will become corrupt. So, we are becoming totally corrupt in our lives and souls....

    Fatima, you are right that the apostates who refuse God's mercy that are lukewarm will be the worst I'm afraid. What a clear timeline!! Wow!!

    Will there be enough priests to hear confessions after the Warning. I bet there will be quite a bit of bilocation going on.

    THE MARK OF THE BEAST is the last message of Verne's in the book 'God Speaks Will You Listen'. A very powerful plea to persevere. The 'abomination of the desolation' is spoken of in this message by our Lord.

    11/06/07 The Mark of the Beast
    My son, I want to further explain to you what the mark of the beast truly means. Apocalypse 13:16-17 states: And he shall make all, both the little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand or on their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Now read Apocalypse 14:9-11: And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image and receive his character in his forehead or in his hand, He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath: and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torments shall ascend up forever and ever: neither have
    they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast and his image and whoever receiveth the character of his name.

    My son, who are the souls who will take this mark? They are lukewarm Catholics, apostate Protestants, and the followers of the antichrist. I will now explain this further for you. My words clearly states those who take the mark of the beast will be tormented forever with fire and brimstone. This means it is a final act of rebellion against my mercy. What would cause a person to rebel against my mercy with the knowledge of eternal damnation upon receiving the mark? It will be a rejection of my mercy through my warning. The warning shall take place before the mark of the beast is forced on mankind. Otherwise many innocent souls would take this mark not understanding what it truly means. The mark of the beast is more than a computer chip. It is the turning completely of your will to Satan and your sinful desires. A physical mark is an outward manifestation of an inward rebellion against God. Just as baptism, is an outward sign of an inward cleansing of original sin from a soul.

    During the warning, every soul will know that I exist and that I am the Son of God who is the only way to the Father. My son, souls will experience a miniature judgment and be given a chance to repent and change their wicked ways. This type of knowledge of soul has never occurred on a worldwide scale before in history. Most souls only receive this knowledge after death and are not given a second chance. This is what makes rejection of the warning such a final condemnation. You will see the truth Jesus Christ and then you will reject the truth. You truly will have no excuses. You will be committing the sin of Lucifer and his angels, “ I will not serve.” You will have experienced the truth. No doubts will henceforth remain in the minds of any of my people. Rejection of the warning will leave you with a total rejection of my mercy. This rejection will cause many to totally give their will to Satan and their evil desires. These souls will have taken the mark of the beast on their souls. Just as my faithful, receive the mark of the cross at baptism and confirmation. To repeat, the spiritual mark will be manifested by a physical sign. This physical sign on your being will be required for survival in this world. Those who reject the spiritual mark will reject the physical mark and will be persecuted by the following groups. Lukewarm Catholics will reject my divine life received at baptism and commit the sin of blaspheming my body, blood, soul, and divinity. Hence lukewarm Catholics will persecute my faithful Catholics. After the warning, there will only be one church. All Protestant denominations will have no reason to exist. For all Protestants will see the truth in my Catholic Church. Those Protestants who in their pride reject my truth, will become apostate and persecute my true Catholics. Many Protestants will enter my church because of the warning. The ungodly will persecute my faithful remnant because the ungodly rejected my mercy. A fierce persecution will rage like a fire in certain parts of your world. Europe, North America, and Latin America will persecute my faithful severely.

    My son, the largest number of converts will come from the pagan religions. Many Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and tribal peoples will accept my mercy and truth because of the warning. My church will experience a large amount of growth in those areas. I will need my faithful to teach these converts. Many miracles will take place at this time. Bilocation and other miracles assisted by my angels will occur. My faithful may be teaching in different areas of the world. After the warning, there will only be a short time given to mankind to repent. If no repentance is done, I will allow Satan and the antichrist to chastise a sinful generation. At this time, many faithful will be: called home, persecuted, martyred, and taken to my refuges. Only those who are not spiritual babies with my divine life residing in their souls will endure those days and enter my era of peace. My son, at baptism all my children receive sanctifying grace, but many do not progress beyond spiritual infancy. I will not lose any the Father has given to me. My spiritual babies will come home to be with me to prevent the loss of their souls. A soul who does not partake of my Eucharist remains a spiritual baby. Just as a human baby must eat solid food to grow to adulthood, so spiritually you must receive my graces through the sacraments to mature to spiritual adulthood. The body must be fed to grow. Likewise, the soul must be fed to grow and mature. Satan knows this truth. This is why he has deceived many of my people with false interpretations of my scriptures. Many teach the physical nation of Israel is the fulfillment of my scripture. Many teach the antichrist will resume the Jewish sacrifice in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem to constitute the abomination of desolation. This is a false teaching, not from God, but from human understanding. My son, in the book of Daniel, the persecution by the Jews under Antiochus can be considered a partial fulfillment of the abomination of desolation. But the complete fulfillment has not yet taken place. At my death, the veil in the temple was rent in two and the old sacrificial covenant was replaced by my new covenant. My sacrifice on the cross was the final sacrifice for my peoples’ sin. I am the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham. I am the seed of Abraham, the son of David, in whom all the nations of the earth are blessed. My nation of Israel is my church, not the modern nation of Israel. My people are now all those who become part of my church through sanctifying grace. The complete fulfillment of the prophecy from Daniel of the abomination of desolation will occur: when the continual sacrifice of the mass is abolished by the false prophet and the anitchrist. Acceptance of the protestant doctrine of the mass by an antipope will be the fulfillment of the prophecy. The temple of God is my Holy Roman Catholic Church. My faithful remnant will be persecuted worldwide with the mass taking
    place underground. These conditions will be similar to the early persecutions by the Romans. The Roman persecutions were a foreshadowing of the persecution and time of the antichrist. Remember all this will be allowed and take place according to the will of my Father in heaven. Scripture must and will be fulfilled.

    I am warning you again my son and any who will take heed to my warnings. He who has ears to hear let him hear. A final warning to those who read these words. Do not wait until the warning to prepare your soul. Prepare your soul now. You may meet your maker today. I do not promise you tomorrow. Receive my graces today through the sacraments instituted by myself and given to my church. You will need my divine life in your soul prior to the warning, to be my witness to the world. After the warning, many souls will need instruction. Many of these souls will be spiritual babies and will be taken home, after the warning. If you desire to enter my era of peace, you must be progressing through my merits and graces to spiritual adulthood, when the warning takes place. This is my final message from this messenger for my people. For I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. The time is short. Jesus Christ has spoken to you today. Take heed to my words. Amen.

    So true Andy. Our Lord makes the statement about bilocation of the remnant in the post above towards the bottom of the message.

    Thank The Lord he has been so kind and gracious to reveal his will to us. I really am amazed at how God has used this information to help others. When I wrote these words down, I had no idea this would help others. As I said before I just filed them away. Finally, I think Jesus is preparing us for the great deception. Jesus said if possible even the elect would be deceived. I think this is why Pope John Paul 2 brought the Divine Mercy Sunday to prepare us for the day of The Lord. It also states Jesus I trust in you.

    my friend Cletus bilocated. Do you remember when the interstate bridge in mn collapsed? I was talking to Cletus on the phone. He was about 50 miles away from the scene where the bridge collapsed. Later a number of people told him they saw him passing out crosses to those who were in the wreckage. But he never left home. Also he was well known for passing out crosses. This was one of many incidents in his life. I will have to tell more.

    WOW!!! Yes, I remember the bridge and when it collapsed, I had crossed it several times while in the Twin Cities. That was one huge bridge that crossed the Mississippi river.

    When people bilocate, are they aware of having done it? Do they have memory of being in both places at once? Would love to hear more about this.

    Mark Mallett did it again today!!

    The Secret Presence of God
    THE NOW WORD ON MASS READINGS
    for February 26th, 2014

    Liturgical texts here

    [​IMG]







    I was in the grocery store the other day, and there was a Muslim woman at the till. I told her I was a Catholic, and was wondering what she thought of the magazine rack and all the immodesty in Western culture. She replied, “I know Christians, at their core, believe in modesty too. Yes, all the major religions agree on the basics—we share the basics.” Or what Christians would call the “natural law.”

    In today’s first reading, St. James writes:

    So for one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, it is a sin.

    Conversely, anyone who knows the right thing to do, and does do it, is following the truth inscribed on their hearts. That is why the Church teaches:

    Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience — those too may achieve eternal salvation.—Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 847

    They are following the Truth, even though they may not know Him by name.

    As I spoke with this Muslim woman, I sensed the Lord’s love for her. She, like me, is a “thought” of the Creator. She, like me, was created in His image. When He knit her in the womb, the Father did not look down upon a “Muslim”, but a little baby girl, with all the capacity for love, life, and salvation that He saw in me when I was a little boy. I felt this common bond between us—the bond of our shared humanity, which forms the basis for the possibility of fraternal love and peace.1

    The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. Thus, the Church considers all goodness and truth found in these religions as “a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life.”Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 843

    But Pope Francis rightly warns that this recognition does not provide a legitimacy for compromise of our Christian faith or a false convergence of religions in the name of “peace.”

    True openness involves remaining steadfast in one’s deepest convictions, clear and joyful in one’s own identity, while at the same time being “open to understanding those of the other party” and “knowing that dialogue can enrich each side”. What is not helpful is a diplomatic openness which says “yes” to everything in order to avoid problems, for this would be a way of deceiving others and denying them the good which we have been given to share generously with others. Evangelization and interreligious dialogue, far from being opposed, mutually support and nourish one another. —POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, n. 25

    In the Gospel today, Jesus makes a somewhat stunning, seemingly pastorally irresponsible comment when the Apostles discover a man, not of their company, performing miracles in His name.

    Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us.

    Jesus was the master at seeing the good in others as opposed to what was wrong with them. He knew that love would attract, and once others felt they were safe, accepted, and respected in His presence, He could then lead them to the fullness of truth, insofar as they would permit Him. It is this ability to see goodness in others that builds a bridge to their heart over which we can, hopefully, transmit the entirety of our Catholic faith. Thisgoodness is nothing less than “secret presence of God.”

    The missionary task implies a respectful dialogue with those who do not yet accept the Gospel. Believers can profit from this dialogue by learning to appreciate better “those elements of truth and grace which are found among peoples, and which are, as it were, a secret presence of God.”Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 856

    We need to ask the Holy Spirit for the sensitivity to recognize when someone is for us, and not against us, and how we can be for them, and not against… so that the secret presence of God may be revealed in our midst.

    It is known to us and to you that those who are in invincible ignorance of our most holy religion, but who observe carefully the natural law, and the precepts graven by God upon the hearts of all men, and who being disposed to obey God lead an honest and upright life, may, aided by the light of divine grace, attain to eternal life; for God who sees clearly, searches and knows the heart, the disposition, the thoughts and intentions of each, in His supreme mercy and goodness by no means permits that anyone suffer eternal punishment, who has not of his own free will fallen into sin. —PIUS IX, Quanto conficiamur moerore, Encyclical, August 10th, 1863

    …the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men.Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 848

    …the senseless and the stupid pass away… Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs! (Today’s Psalm and response)

    Several mystics and saints had this gift. St. Padre Pio was one of the most notable. Seems like after the Warning, according to Verne's messages, the gift of biolocation will be somewhat common in order to promote the Gospel throughout the world.

    Fatima Guest

    Mark Mallett's blog's posted on this thread reminds me of Verne's message that it will be Muslims, Pagans, Jews, Hindu's who having heard God's voice in the Warning, will be the ones to convert. It will be those lukewarm Catholics and apostate Protestants that having already known the truth and rejected it, who will persecute the Christian remnant the most. It will also be self-righteous ultra-conservative Catholics who cannot accept those aforementioned coming into the Church who will loose their faith as well.

    My friend Cletus was not aware of bilocation. It took him By surprise. Something else I should share. After his death, people have seen Cletus in church in mn. He also appeared to a friend of mine in wi. He always said he would return. God told him this.

    As there is much discussion on following the Holy Father and the Novo Ordo Mass, here is what Verne was told by our Lord:

    07/25/07

    My son, ponder these words. Ask my Holy Spirit to interpret the meaning for you. Isaias 55:8,9,11. For my thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts. So shall my word be, which shall go forth from my mouth. It shall not return to me void, but it shall do whatsoever I please and shall prosper in the things for which I sent it. Matthew 16:19. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be
    bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. My people, who were these words addressed to? Peter, my apostle and to his successors. These words were not addressed to lay people, religious, or even individual priests. Today in my church, many factions are questioning the authority of the Holy Father. I ask you: do you have the power to loose and bind? These words do not apply to you. If you are in rebellion, calumniating, or causing others to question the authority of my vicar, you are in rebellion against me. You will be held responsible for those you lead
    astray, if you do not repent. By your words and actions, you are persecuting me. You are led by your own pride, not by my Holy Spirit. For I am meek and humble of heart. Are your actions, thoughts, and words leading my people to me or away from me? Beware, the serpent is sly and can lead you astray. If my pope was truly teaching false doctrine, my spirit would lead and purify my church. This schism over the validity of the mass must stop. It is a stumbling block and a serious offence to my sacred heart, my Mother’s Immaculate heart, and to the Holy Trinity. For it is only my sacrifice which appeases my
    Father’s justice. My sacrifice of the mass is a renewal daily of my atonement on Calvary. Who are you to stifle my spirit? If a validly ordained priest, speaks the words of consecration established by my church, I AM PRESENT. It is a valid consecration. If you question the validity of my masses, after the Holy Father has explicitly guided you, are you any different than Martin Luther or any of the protestant reformers? Remember, Satan wants to destroy belief in my mass. He does not care which method he uses. By questioning the validity of the Novo Ordo Mass, you are causing people to leave my church and deny my presence in the Eucharist. You will be held responsible for all the souls, which you have caused to be led astray. I am a God of humility. It is my humility which has brought about your salvation. My desire is for all to be saved. I will go to whatever lengths, to save a soul. The loss of one soul to hell, causes much sorrow and grief in my sacred heart. For I told you, there is much joy over one sinner who repents. Who are you to judge the workings of my spirit? My people, the Tridentine Mass brings great honor and glory to my Father, myself, and the Holy Spirit.

    Please Ponder on this: There is much evil in your world. How do you know the Novo Order Mass, was not inspired by my spirit? I knew there would be sacreligious communions, lack of reverence in my churches, and lack of belief in my presence in the Eucharist. But I will do anything for the salvation of souls. I will humiliate myself to great extremes to save my people. I will sacrifice my honor and glory to save my people and bring my presence to my people. What will you do for the salvation of souls? Since the introduction of the Novo Ordo Mass, many protestants and others have entered my church, who otherwise would not have. Many conversions and Eucharistic miracles have occurred with both rites of my mass. For the most important thing to me, is to share my presence and to save the souls of my people. With the mass said in the vernacular languages, many souls have learned to love me and have come back to the shepherd of their souls. If you continue to fight over the validity of the mass, do you even care about souls? For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord. I receive honor and glory, not from the praise of men, but through the salvation of souls.
    For truly I say to you, my divine purpose, is to deliver my people from sin and death and bring them to my Father in heaven. What is your purpose, you who call on my name? Follow the visible head of my church, your Holy Father and you follow me. Follow not your Holy Father and you do not follow me, but you persecute me. These are the words of the Lord.

    I love these messages. Just while reading them I have an overwhelming feeling of how solid they are. They speak to me more than any other messages.

    This hits close to home. My diocese of Fort Worth, Texas has been without a bishop for 18 months. Thanks be to God, we were given a brilliant, holy bishop - Michael Olsen. He was installed 1/29/14, and, first rattle out of the bag, he suspended a local private college from celebrating the Latin Mass. Evidently, the Rorate Caeli blog was all over this like white on rice, without seeking out any details. (Which is why I don't read anything they have to say.)

    Here's what Dr. Taylor Marshall says:


    FMC hosted a public repudiation of Vatican 2 and the Ordinary Form of the Mass in April of 2013 that was so offensive that my wife and I walked out of it before it’s conclusion. That did not do much to heal the breach with the local diocese or presbyterate and it contributed to the priests of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) discontinuing their support and presence at FMC. The current FMC website advertises that the FSSP provides a chaplain, but this is not true.

    At the same time, Michael King estranged himself from the diocese of Fort Worth by not allowing the Ordinary Form (as stipulated by the previous ordinary Bishop Vann of Fort Worth). He also contracted an irregular/suspended priest without faculties, and hired “trad resistance” faculty while there was no bishop in Fort Worth to check these developments. Mr. King was able to create a community in his image (he affectionately referred to himself the “father” of this community) during the episcopal inter-regnum of the diocese of Fort Worth.

    Clearly, a bishop’s intervention was inevitable. The current controversy really has nothing to do with the Latin Mass per se. The Latin Mass is at the center because Michael King is politicizing the Latin Mass in his favor, knowing that “bishops vs the Latin Mass” is red meat for some traditionalist blogs.


    Our new Bishop is simply reigning in the mice who were doing shenanigans while the cat was away. By the way, the Latin Mass is celebrated in Fort Worth at Our Lady of the Assumption, walking distance from the college.

    Please pray for our wonderful new Bishop, who is already doing the hard work of shepherding unruly sheep!
